How this will help

Her
stepfather raped a young woman for years. When she became pregnant, he murdered her baby.
The Maldives government proceeded to punish the criminal -- The courts decided that the 15 year old victim was the one
who would be whipped 100 times in public, for the crime of "sex outside
marriage." There is only one thing that will get President Mohammed Waheed Hassan to
intervene. Us.
With human rights organizations around the world up in arms over this case, the
president has caved to global pressure and saved this girl from brutality. But flogging still remains a
punishment for women and children in Maldives -- including those who have been
victims of rape and sexual abuse.
Please Join us as we work to stop punishing victims, and instead go after the perpetrators of the abuse.
